    Lets get promoted on a shoestring

    Lets be honest we have no money , well atleast until the new stadium is built (still not sure if it will). But when we last won this league, a different and much easier league back then, we had lower league players who where hungry aggressive and although not blessed with skill where the type...

    For those that sell on eBay

    Just thought I'd warn you (probably obvious) about some of the things that PayPal do when you have any sort of dispute with a buyer... I never knew this but PayPal are very much a "buyer is always right" service, be very careful when selling anything, proof of postage is NOT enough if a buyer...

    Think what you like about the BNP

    But some of what they say does make sense... The BBC has pulled an appearance by British National Party leader Nick Griffin on today’s Politics Show at the last moment out of fear that his suggestions for the control of expense claims by members of parliament would find popular appeal...

    Question Should the driver have control of the music in the car?

    Mrs Dts and I decided yesterday to take GoDoDtS to a place called Nymans Gardens which is some National Trust place in Sussex. As usual I drove as Mrs DtS cant be arsed too. As it was about one(ish) I decided I would put the Millwall vs Leeds game on. However Mrs DtS wanted to listen to Mercury...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith

    This poll is really a week or so too early. The date of this poll should be 01 May, because that is the date for which Dave Smith will forever be associated with the club, for it was on 01 May 1981 that his side claimed the club's first major trophy* with a 1-1 draw against Rochdale. Dave...

    Blimey. Didn't See That Coming

    Liverpool 1-3 Chelsea Torres, 6 Ivanovich, 39, 62 Drogba, 67 That wasn't in the script. Unbeaten all season at Anfield, Liverpool chose the worst possible moment to lose their focus, lose the match and, unless something truly extraordinary happens at Stamford Bridge next week...

    That job interview...

    Didnt get the job I went for today. Was based on a points scoring system for the interview. Lesson I took went really well, no problems at all, but I got beat on the interview (even though we had the same points) by a primary teacher who claimed to not want to teach Year 10 or 11 and she's got...

    Redknapp's "Mish Mash" Players

    Michael Dawson summed it up best in the post-match interview. Most players, having secured a place at Wembley would bound onto the screen with a broad grin, congratulate, "the lads," and then scamper off for a late night on the bubbles. Not this time. Instead Dawson hung his head in shame. How...

    Southend and we're proud of it!

    My god all this doom and gloom, on a miserable Sunday here's a little bit of light relief from eighty odd years ago. The English Channel had first been swum in 1875 and then again in 1911, but after that American women and European Bakers had repeated the feat. Lord George Riddell owner of...

    Wilkins Worried By Wobbles

    After a hard night at Roots Hall, Luis Felipe Scolari was in no mood to face the media. Perhaps he was locked in the dressing room with a blackboard, some chalk and a squad still struggling to understand the concept of zonal marking. Whatever the reason, it was Ray Wilkins who squeezed into the...

    Question Insurance advice

    About 6-8 weeks ago I claimed on my home contents insurance for a replacement for my Wife's lost watch. She was convinced she lost it outside, but we turned the house upside down anyway and couldn't find it anywhere. I paid the excess and the insurance company replaced it without any fuss...

    Shadow front bencher arrested.

    Ok, I know politics is a dodgy subject at the moment, but felt this story needed reporting. Be interesting to see how it develops, in my opinion. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/3532133/Tory-minister-Damian-Green-arrested-under-the-Official-Secrets-Acts.html...

    Warning of Another Dodgy Scam

    Well, it might be, but it might also be legitimate. I got a phone call a few months back from a withheld number. The person on the other end of the line claimed to be from Chubb, and said he was canvassing people in the area to see if they had a home security system, and if they did, were they...

    Good parent or Bad parent

    Following the lively corporal punishment debate, that change to a parenting discussion, what would the SZ masses do in the same position? Is she a good parent or a bad parent?

    The 'Stan

    First of all, I'm writing this from my perspective of the last six months, I'm no hero, but plenty of my collegues are. Hopefully no one will think I'm writing this is order to show off, or to earn rep. Indeed, please don't rep me for this at all. I realise I'm probably not the only serviceman...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 3 Colchester 3

    If it can ever really be said that we scored (twice!) too early, then it could be said about this one. After the midweek heroics against Leeds, it was always going to be difficult to raise ourselves a second time in such quick succession. With the visiting Ewes enjoying a rest during the week...

    The Gathering Storm

    Imagine the padlocks clinking shut around the Shankly Gates, or the bailiffs moving in at Old Trafford. Imagine half the Premier League collapsing into administration and tumbling down into the lower leagues. According to reports this weekend, it's not as surreal a scenario as you might think...
